"Heat shock transcription factor (HSF), an evolutionarily conserved stress response regulator, forms trimers and binds to heat shock element (HSE), comprising at least three continuous inverted repeats of the sequence 5'-nGAAn-3'. The single HSF of yeast is also able to bind discontinuously arranged nGAAn units," scientists in Kanazawa, Japan report.
"We investigated interactions between three human HSFs and various HSE types in vitro, in yeast cells, and in HeLa cells. Human HSF1, a stress-activated regulator, preferentially bound to continuous HSEs rather than discontinuous HSEs, and heat shock of HeLa cells caused expression of reporter genes containing ...
